[Ubuntu-QC] Script to cure - Espace disque saturé par les anciens noyaux

[Gilbert Dion]

Bonjour, Georges,

Thanks for replying to my request (which, as I figure, is also a request
from many Ubuntu users). I read the description of the script from Kim
Kulak and I understand it fits my future needs. I sur am interested in
having it to try and adopt. You can send it to my actual gmail address.

Merci!

Gilbert Dion

> running kernel. (Note that the presently running kernel is almost always
> the same as the last installed kernel.) The script will then print the list
> of kernels it will keep and a list of the kernels it will purge,and then
> prompt you for your password so that it can purge the unneeded kernels.
> You'll then see a lot of output as the kernels are purged and your grub
> menu is updated." Please do wait until the script finishes. It may take
> several minutes and works around for each kernel being removed. A little
> patience, eh?

> For those using the script from Nautilus or Caja they must first set the

>
> For those using the script directly in a terminal here are the two simple
> commands (assuming one has saved the script to one's home folder.) N.B.,
> the first command need only be run once as it sets the file properties.
>
> The two commands are:
> chmod +x purge-kernel
> ./purge-kernel
